This is a thoughtful thread on the topic of good guys vs. bad guys in TV/movies/fiction and the rise of the antihero as a framework that ppl clearly identify with. The recommendation "put truth in the mouth of the good guys" is good advice these days writ large.

If you want to write heroes in the year 2025, you have to decide what they stand for, and then stand for it. The mealy-mouthed, offend-no-one approach no longer works. People respond to the Walter Whites bc you can put truth in their mouths. So put truth in the mouths of the good guys.
